read a report a couple weeks back that said that Cheney's options or stock in Haliburton increased from $200K to over $9M from 2004-5. Wow.

Would you like possibly an unbiased presentation of some facts on Cheney?

factcheck.org;

Yeah, right.......do you ever tell the truth? Have you ever met a Republican that you didn't like? Is Cheney really worth defending?

"Halliburton's proximity to top US officials has been the stuff of legends in the American media. US Vice President Dick Cheney himself served as the company's chief executive officer during the period from October 1995 until August 2000 when he agreed to become George W Bush's running mate in the presidential elections. After leaving Halliburton, Cheney placed his shares and stock options in a trust. Cheney claimed that he had severed all connections with the company, but his critics vociferously disagree.

According to a 1995 executive order passed by the Bill Clinton administration, American companies are barred from doing business with Iran. In the past also, controversy had arisen about Halliburton subsidiary Halliburton Products and Services having sold $40 million worth of oil services to Iran. But the US sanctions against Iran do not cover "independent foreign subsidiaries" - a description that was apparently applicable to Halliburton Products and Services, which is registered in the Cayman Islands."
